One day, a strange thing comes to a woman who is suffering from being in a sexless relationship with her boyfriend.

Kenichi Ugana and Kaoru Koide in Extraneous Matter Complete Edition (2021)

Entertaining and thoughtful short film about sexy tentacled aliens

Directed and written by Ken&#39;ichi Ugana, who also made the incredible short Vierailijat, this film takes an image that we associate with the pornographic - sexualized tentacles - and applies it to how being in some relationships is lonelier than being all by yourself, as well as alienation and fear of the unknown, across several episodes. A young woman (Kaoru Koide) trapped in a loveless and definitely sexless relationship is attacked by an octopus alien that hides in her closet and while at first this is assault, it soon becomes the only thing she looks forward to. By the end, everyone in her life, including her boyfriend, has partaken in the sexual nirvana that this creature can create. Another tale is about a man attempting to win back an ex-lover while training a creature with sweets. As the aliens multiply across Earth, humanity battles back in the third story, with soldiers gathering and killing them. One of those men finds an injured octopus creature and tries to protect it. Finally, two strangers meet in a bar after the aliens have been driven out. Extraneous Matter Complete Edition does the opposite of what so many of the stories of alien sex in Japanese culture usually do: the story goes on past the sex. In fact, the tentacles being inside humans is such a small part of the story. It&#39;s what is truly inside, the hidden reasons why we do what we do, that get explored within this film. Whether you can see that through all the glistening tentacles and strange looking eight-limbed soft-bodied monsters is your call.

Extraneous Matter Complete Edition

A woman in a sexless relationship discovers the tentacled alien in her closet provides relief. Soon enough her friends discover it too. Later we find out her boyfriend has also discovered the alien&#39;s charms. The story, sparsely but smartly told, skips forward to a time where these aliens are everywhere. Even later we find out they are being wiped out but two of the workers charged with shredding them save one. Filmed in black and white with little dialog, it&#39;s always entertaining. This film has at least a few parallels with Cronenberg&#39;s Naked Lunch and especially Burrough&#39;s mugwumps. Being set in Japan, Hokusai&#39;s Dream of the Fisherman&#39;s Wife must get a look in.
